Surely someone have try Minimig with keyboard before.

Would Logic keyboard or AmigaOne Keyboard work?

Any keyboard that has a standard PS/2 connector should work with the Minimig. In addition, some USB keyboards are combination USB/PS/2 keyboards, and will work with an adapter (generally supplied with the keyboard - if the keyboard didn't come with one, that's a good indicator that it probably won't work).

Alternatively, the MIST board has a Minimig core and doesn't support PS/2 keyboards but does support USB keyboards.

Hope that's some help.

Actaully.. I had to iterate a number of old and new standard PS/2 keyboards until I found one that worked without everyday "whatta h*k" moments. Same with USB adapters. I admit I have this "if it can fail it fails" curse on me :nervous So better test before purchasing..

Yeah, perhaps I should have emphasised the word "should" in what I wrote!

Power supply? What rating is it. As I have only ever seen issue's when wrong PSU used. Should be atleast 2.5A.

Can't remember but the PSU came with the Minimig I bought (from ACube afair). Anyway, I doubt that infinitely repeating ghost keystrokes or random control sequences were because of PSU. There's a bit of history here. Maybe these have been fixed long since.. I have not played with Minimig for a looong time.
